Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I pick a Wedding Florist?
The first thing to know, is all florist's are different. Do your Research!
Search the Internet and Social Media for local florists in your area.
Ask your married friends about their experiences.
Flick through magazines looking for 'Real Weddings'.
You will start to be drawn to a particular florist’s style or aesthetic. When you have found 2 or 3 florists that catch your eye, it’s time to set up an initial consultation with each.
Q - How much do Wedding Flowers cost and how much should I budget?
All weddings are different, and there is no right or wrong budget to have.
As per several NZ Wedding Magazines, the typical floral budget is around 10% of your overall wedding budget. In saying this, some brides only require a single bridal bouquet, where as others require large custom designs with imported blooms.
For those looking for full service wedding flowers, which basically means you’re needing flowers for both personals and decor, I would budget $2,000+ for a Table Flower styled event!
Q: Do you have a minimum spend?
Yes! Full Service starts from $2,000
We do still work with some couples with lower budgets. If that’s you, then flick us and email and we can have a conversation.
Q: What is an Initial Consultation and is it free?
Initial Consultations are for brides requiring full floral services. If this is you, then the consultation is free, and can be run via Skype or at a spot that makes great coffee! Consultation can be booked in Monday - Friday, run approx. 1 hour.
